Ummm, why?

Seems like a step backwards to me, so now you have to go onto a computer find where you want on google/yahoo maps then send it to your car and then go, I think i'll stick with normal GPS where I can do everything in my car.

The only thing backward about it is you. It's a feature. Don't use it if you don't want to. Your GPS still functions the same. Sheesh, quit condemning something before you understand what it's for. Society has to progress you know.

@Sandra:

In addition to what Juice said (if you don't want to use it, then don't), you're missing the point of this feature. It's not meant to replace the in searchable GPS functionality already in the car. It's for those times you've looked for something online in your house (because a real qwerty keyboard is way better than a soft one, for instance, or just because you were curious, or for any other reason you would use google or yahoo maps) and then you figured AFTER LOOKING IT UP, "hey, I would like to go there."

This is so you don't have to look for it/type in the address AGAIN in your car after you've already found it on your home computer. Click twice on website. Press a button in the car. Boom, off you go.

Precisely. MB should be working with Google to get the maps directly from the car - forget your PC. This barely seems better than printing the map and directions.
